Hats off or a tip of the ole grape to Nancy Gardella. In Friday’s Vineyard Haven news in the Vineyard Gazette, she wrote: “While our library is terrific at getting us the books we want, I knew I wanted to
own it (The Game of My Life by Jason McElwain) to pass around to many of my friends dealing with autism. A word of thanks to the staff at our wonderful Bunch of Grapes who are always helpful and got the book for me within three days. I would much rather visit my local bookstore and deal with all the friendly people than to go to Amazon.com.”
Smart lady, that Nancy! Nice, too! I cannot understand why people living on an island don’t realize that if they spend their hard-earned money on the island, it enriches the community, which we all cherish so much. If money is spent off-island, it stays off-island. Who than pays for the teachers, the bank tellers, the lawn mowers, the snow plowers? Who donates to the schools and the causes?
Thanks again, Nancy, for your kind words.
